Why is that? Have you ever been attacked by Muslims? I asked my East Indian friend the same thing.We're almost preconditioned to believe that whenever there is a terrorist attack it is a Muslim extremist.

You are telling me that you are unable to distinguish between "It is NOT a terrorist bombing" and "There is no indication of terrorist involvement yet"Nope, I'm just not going to do it. But your actions certainly do speak, very, very loudly.
Media hype would be my best guess. Plus ever since 9/11 there has been a fairly pervasive paranoia running in the background in the US about Muslims. It has an effect, even on people who should know better.Why is that?
Don't you just hate that? They even claim some Black Muslim dude tried to blow up an airplane with a bomb in his underwear. Then there was the claim that some ethnic Pakistani Muslim dude tried to blow up Times Square (where I use to hang out in the 1990's)..Media hype would be my best guess.
Not to mention the 9/11 and 7/7 terrorists, which I believe someone already has.Don't you just hate that?

Well, homegrown people in the US have done some pretty nutty things. The US has always had more than a bit of xenophobia running though it, for much of our history. We've gone from Native Americans, to Blacks, to Chinese, to the Irish, to Italians, to the Japanese, to Russians, to Mexicans, and on and on. So now we settle on Muslims. We seem to need a bogeyman, and tag they're it.Don't you just hate that? They even claim some Black Muslim dude tried to blow up an airplane with a bomb in his underwear.

Don't forget Canada, we had the "Toronto 18". They, inter-alia, had planned to bomb the CN Tower. What in blazes did the CN Tower ever do to them?Not to mention the 9/11 and 7/7 terrorists, which I believe someone already has.
Oh come on, within 5 minutes of the news, you and Aardie were frothing at the mouth about islamic terrorists.
huh?LMAO!!!
How TRUE!!!
Nice to see that assumption blow up in their faces like an 'Oklahoma City-type truck bomb'!
This farked up wacko rightard is one of THEIR OWN ilk!...:Eek:
The uniform isn't an official one as the patches don't correspond to legit government uniforms. It seems he designed it himself, or else it is a uniform of his fringe group. He considered himself a Knight Templar and it appears he designed/made his own uniform as commander of the local chapter. Appears he had lots of cash to spend on this hobby of his - not some poor disenfranchised guy but rather a deep-pocketed extremist who indulged himself in all the luxury trimmings.Alexmst, what do you make of the photograph in some sort of dress uniform - when he was doing National Service in the Norwegian Army? What makes me question it is theTotenkopf and cross or sword patch, just coincidence or related to the Knights Templar theme? http://i.dailymail.co.uk/i/pix/2011/07/24/article-2018106-0D227F8F00000578-490_306x423.jpg
It goes indeed sound like there was a major mental-delusional issue going on.
Will his lawyer plead insanity? We could walk free....BUT he should have made his position clear through the mechanisms of civil discourse. Killing a bunch of people just makes him look evil and why would anyone listen to an evil murderer for political guidance?
He sees himself as a revolutionary, but one armed person killing children is not a revolution.
Don't know enough about Norwegian criminal law to comment.Will his lawyer plead insanity? We could walk free....
he hates the left....and he killed youths at a Labour Party youth camp. He hates the left and he bombed the government building ( the Left leaning Labour Party currently rules the country.....he may be a nutbar but he had political rationale for what he did....just like gw bush did!The whole idea of turning what this guy did into ANYTHING political or racist or ant- this or pro- that is just such a mind-boggling diversion. And selfish. Using an event like this to somehow attach it to your political or other beliefs does a disservice and is actually offensive, when one considers the magnitude of what happenned.
He described himself as Christian, so people go off on that. Or he is right wing, so off go others. For fuck's sake he is a man, so presumably man-haters can go after men too I presume? I wonder if he had blue eyes, or was taller or shorter than average.
The simple fact is that he is evil.
Period.
Come on you shoot your argument in the foot when you make inane comments like that.he may be a nutbar but he had political rationale for what he did....just like gw bush did!
